I am one of those nuts who, while gardening (or pretending to, which is a more apt description!), will go to great lengths to avoid injuring the cute little black newts that tend to hide under old leaves. I felt so bad because I accidentally killed several one time, and grieved! {^)

Sometimes dad would accidentally sever their tails when digging post holes and I would take them in and “fix them”, not knowing that their tails would have grown back without my help, anyway.
:D
My wife can handle anything with legs. Snakes are evil incarnate. When I point out that snakes eat rats and mice, her response id “doesn’t matter. They don’t have legs.”
